Amazon MGM Studios has taken over creative control of the James Bond series. Longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson are stepping back from their active roles, while all parties remain co-owners. This new arrangement means Amazon MGM will decide how future Bond films are developed and produced.
This decision marks a major change for the franchise that has thrilled audiences for over 60 years. It honors the legacy of pioneers like Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, while allowing Wilson and Broccoli to focus on other projects. In simple terms, the series will now move forward with a fresh vision under Amazon MGM's leadership.
Since Amazon bought MGM for $8.5 billion in 2022, they gained a large library of films and TV shows, including the Bond movies. With the previous film, "No Time to Die," earning $775 million, fans and industry experts are eagerly waiting for news about the next Bond installment and potential new casting.
